Good evening to all the ministers and churches present and in different nations that are connected to this activity today, Friday, July 8, 2016. Greetings to you all, and may God bless us all, may He open the Scriptures to us and our understanding so that we understand.
Warm greetings to all brethren and to Minister Jose Benjamin Perez in Puerto Rico – Cayey, Puerto Rico.
For this occasion, let’s read in Saint Luke, chapter 17, verses 22 and on, and it says:
“And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.
“IDENTIFYING THE END OF TIME.”
The end of time is the end for the Gentile kingdom in the stage of the feet of iron and clay; it is also the end of the Church ages or Church stages or the stage of the Dispensation of Grace; it is the end of time for the introduction of the Kingdom of the Messiah.
In Daniel, chapter 7, it tells us, verse 13 and on:
“I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.”
Here it shows us that a time is coming when the power will be taken away from the kingdom of the Gentiles in the stage of the feet of iron and clay, and the Kingdom will be given to the saints of the Most High. Christ Himself said: “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”
Christ receives the Kingdom, and His Bride-Church will be the Queen in that Kingdom: they will be kings with Christ, priests with Christ, and judges with Christ in His Kingdom, which will be for the Millennium and for all eternity. He is the heir to the Kingdom, and the believers in Him are joint-heirs with Him, heirs to the Kingdom of God.
The time for the Coming of the Lord is called the end of time, a time in which it is promised that the Son of Man will be revealed or manifested, the Son of Man will come.
The title “Son of Man” speaks to us of the title of a prophet; and as Son of Man: He is the heir to planet Earth along with everything it contains and everything it will have in the Millennial Kingdom and for all eternity.
When referring to the Son of Man, we find that Ezekiel and Zechariah, and also Jeremiah, and also Isaiah, were Sons of Man, that is, in whom God dwelled and manifested Himself.
When God is manifested in a prophet, that is a manifestation of the Son of Man, that is why God calls His prophets: Sons of Man. And now, this tells us about God clothed in a body of flesh revealing Himself to His people, speaking to them, and making promises to them and prophesying to them through a man, through a prophet.
Don’t forget that Son of Man refers to a manifestation of God in human flesh in a prophet; and when referring to the Son of God, that refers to Christ as the heir of the Heavens and the Earth; and when referring to the Son of David, that is Christ the heir to the Kingdom of David and Throne of David, manifested upon the Throne of David and restoring the Kingdom of David.
As the Son of David, He is the heir to the Kingdom and Throne of David; and as the Son of Abraham, He is the heir to the territory that God gave Abraham. Therefore, each title has an inheritance.
And now, for the end time, we have the promise of the Coming of the Son of Man; therefore, we must be prepared for the Coming of the Son of Man. Notice how it is shown here in Saint Matthew, chapter 24, verse 27, where it says:
“For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
That is, the Coming of the Son of Man is the Second Coming of Christ to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ at the end time; and It will be as the lightning comes out of the East and shines in the West. In other words, the First Coming of the Son of Man, the First Coming of the Lord, was in the East, He came from there; and then He has been running to and fro as the Holy Spirit, as the Son of God, throughout the different church stages, throughout the territories in which He would manifest Himself and from which He would expand to other nations.
As the Son of God, He is the Holy Spirit, Christ in Holy Spirit, God in Holy Spirit; and He has been with His Church always, and He said that would be until the end of the world. Saint Matthew, chapter 28, verse 20. And Saint Matthew, chapter 18, verse 20, where it says: “For where two or three are gathered together in My Name, I will be there.”
Since the Day of Pentecost, He has been fulfilling that promise: He has been present as the Son of God in the midst of His Church, He has been present as the Holy Spirit in the midst of His Church, He has been calling and gathering His children, from age to age, who would form the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and have been written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, before the foundation of the world.
And they must be redeemed, placed in Eternal Life, born again; because the birth that they obtained on Earth through their earthly parents is birth to a temporary life, for a period of time; because the body we have obtained as an inheritance from Adam and Eve is mortal and corruptible; but the second Adam, who is Christ, has been bringing forth the new birth with His Church; just like the corn of wheat that falls into the ground and dies, and a little wheat plant is born, through which —the life that was in the corn of wheat— reproduces itself into many wheat grains.
And the Life that was in Christ is the Holy Spirit, which had been in His Church since the Day of Pentecost, reproducing Himself in sons and daughters of God, thus bringing forth the new birth.
Christ is the Corn of Wheat and His Church is the product of the Corn of Wheat, in other words, the wheat Plant through which, from age to age, He has been reproducing Christ into sons and daughters of God. Those are the children of God through the Second Adam, with Eternal Life.
First they obtain the new birth, they enter into that spiritual realm, they are born again and they obtain Eternal Life; and then they will obtain physical Eternal Life upon receiving an eternal, immortal, and glorified body: in the resurrection of the dead in Christ in the Coming of Christ, and those who are alive will receive the transformation of their bodies once we see them resurrected.
And then we will be here on Earth for 30 to 40 days in the manifestation of the sons and daughters of God: that manifestation of God in all His fullness in and through His Church on this Earth; and then, well, we will go from here in chariots of fire —which are flying saucers—, the way Enoch left and the way the prophet Elijah left in a chariot of fire, and the way the Lord Jesus Christ left. Therefore, something great is being prepared, and that which is being prepared is in the Bible. It is a Divine promise for the end time.
In order to identify the end of time, Christ tells us that the end of time will be as the days of Lot were and as the days of Noah were. We must identify the time and see if the time in which we are living is parallel to the time in which Noah lived and to the time in which Lot lived. Notice, here in Saint Matthew, chapter 24, verses 36 and on, it says:
“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
It will be as the days of Noah were; therefore, we must identify the time of and for the Coming of the Son of Man: it must be parallel to the time of Noah.
“For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
It will be in a time like the time of Noah. And in the Scripture that we had at the beginning it also tells us that it will be like the time of Lot, when they were doing the same things Saint Matthew told us about.
Now notice what Saint *Luke, chapter 18, verse 8 says. It says:
“I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?”
When the Son of Man comes, shall He find faith on the Earth?
And in Saint Luke, chapter 21, it also tells us… verses 25 and on:
“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring…”
We have seen signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars; therefore, the sky is showing signs, just like in the times of Noah and the times of Lot.
“… with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring (because of the tidal waves and tsunamis and earthquakes);
Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth…”
Perplexed by the environmental problems that will come as a result of how human beings have been misusing Mother Earth; and therefore, they know that problems will arise within the Earth’s ecosystems, that Mother Earth will collapse.
It has also been said that the Earth will have birth pains; therefore, the Earth is going through a difficult stage: groaning, as Saint Paul says in Romans, chapter 8, verses 14 to 39: “Crying and waiting for the glorious manifestation of the children of God;” in other words, the glorification of the children of God, the manifestation: the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of the living, to be just like Jesus Christ, with eternal, young, and glorified bodies, just like the body Jesus Christ our Savior has.
“Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken (in other words, there will be a shaking in heaven).
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”
The redemption of the body: the transformation of us who are alive and the resurrection in eternal and glorified bodies of the believers who died in different ages or stages of the Church.
We have been seeing the signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars; so, we have been seeing that our redemption is near.
Verse 29 and on, of Saint Luke, chapter 21, goes on to say:
“And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.”
And Kingdom of God is the Millennial Kingdom, which the Prince Messiah is heir to.
“So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man (to stand before that glorious manifestation of the Coming of the Son of Man at the Last Day, at the end of time).”
Therefore, let’s be prepared, because God will be fulfilling all these promises at the end time. Because this time is just like the time of Noah and the time of Lot; it is parallel to those times of the past in which God came and spoke to Noah about the Divine judgment that would fall upon the human race, upon the antediluvian people.
And also in the time of Lot, God came with his Archangels, Gabriel…; He visited Abraham, they had lunch with Abraham (a tender calf, butter, milk, and flour tortillas; corn flour or wheat flour ones); and then they left, at sunset, to Sodom. Gabriel and Michael left; while God (who was, let’s say, in human form, in a body just like the Archangels Gabriel and Michael were) stayed with Abraham.
And He says: “Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do?” In other words, what He was going to do was destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. And then, when He tells Abraham what He is going to do, Abraham immediately thought about his nephew (his nephew, who used to take advantage of Abraham, but Abraham loved him); and God heard Abraham’s cry for his nephew, Abraham’s intercession to save his nephew.
He says to God: “If there are 50 righteous people there, will You destroy the city? Won’t the Judge of the Earth do justly, do right?
And God says to him: “I will not destroy it, for the sake of the 50.”
And Abraham, knowing that God is merciful…
Remember, that is why, let’s pray for our homes, for our families and our… not only for those who are at home, but also for our parents, our grandparents, our grandchildren, our children, all our family members. We want what’s best for all our family members.
And Abraham continues to lower the number: “If there are 40, will You destroy the city?”
God says to him: “If there are 40, I will not destroy it.”
―“Well, what if there are 30?”
―“I will not destroy it either.”
―“If there are 20?”
―“I will not destroy it either.”
― “If there are 10?”
―“I will not destroy it either.”
But he couldn’t continue to lower the number, because in the time of Noah there were 8 people, and God destroyed the antediluvian world; but He saved Noah, his wife, his three sons, and his three daughters-in-law. Therefore, in Sodom and Gomorrah, God had… He had already sent Michael and Gabriel.
Remember that each one of those Archangels has a powerful Army; and when they need to intervene: they intervene.
Do you remember Gabriel and His Army intervening in that kingdom there of Persia, of Greece as well, all those kingdoms that had to pass one by one? The Archangel Gabriel with His Army was taking action so that those changes could take place, and He was sent by God to do that; and when He needed help, He asked for help, and the Archangel Michael would come and would help Him. If you read the book of Daniel, you will find those details.
And now, notice what the Angels say to Lot; chapter 19 of Genesis… When Lot came out… because they wanted Lot to bring the two Angels out of the house and – so that they could know them. Lot didn’t do so, and he sent them his daughters. And then he went out to speak to the men who were going to marry his daughters; but they mocked him, they didn’t believe it would happen. And the Angels had already blinded the people who were surrounding Lot’s house and wanted to enter to bring out the men, Gabriel and Michael. Perhaps they didn’t know that they were the Angels Gabriel and Michael. But they put forth their hand out and pulled Lot back in, and they shut the door; and said to Lot:
“And the men said unto Lot (the men, meaning, Gabriel and Michael), Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
For we will destroy this place…”
In other words, when God sends the Archangels Gabriel and Michael for judgment, there is no opportunity to escape; unless people do what was done in the time of Jonah: when Jonah, after experiencing a change in transportation method… he was fleeing by boat, and then he traveled in a whale, to fulfill what God said to him. He was on a boat and then he went into a submarine; but he wasn’t too comfortable there.
And when the king heard that Jonah was declaring that God was going to destroy Nineveh in forty days: the king called his people, they began fasting, they covered themselves in ashes, and they cried out to God for mercy. And God heard the prayer of the king and the people, and He didn’t destroy them at that time. But instead of being glad, Jonah got upset with God.
God says to him: “They don’t know the difference between their right hand and their left hand,” and He had mercy on them. But later on, He destroyed Nineveh. Nineveh was the place where God sent Jonah.
And now, what we want is for God to have mercy on the peoples; and we want God to have mercy on the peoples of Latin America; because the Divine Program of the seventh age and of the Age of the Cornerstone pertains to the continent of the Americas.
We don’t rejoice in judgment. We rejoice in God’s mercy. We are saddened when judgment falls upon our family, when judgment falls upon our community, when judgment falls upon our country, when judgment falls upon the nations. But when God’s mercy and blessing comes along, we rejoice.
Now, here Gabriel and Michael, these Angels, say:
“…For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it.”
In other words, these Archangels are sent either for blessing or for judgment.
Gabriel was sent for the blessing of the virgin Mary, to announce to her that she would have a son, who would be the heir of the Kingdom of David and Throne of David, and He would be called the Son of God.
And He had also been sent to announce to the priest Zacharias, the husband of Elisabeth, the virgin Mary’s cousin, that he (Zacharias the priest) and his wife Elisabeth, would have a son (and they were already elderly); and that he would be a prophet, that he would come in the spirit of Elijah, the spirit and power of Elijah, to prepare the way for the Lord. It had fallen upon Zacharias to offer the incense at that time.
And now, we find that John the Baptist, in Zechariah [Malachi], chapter 3, is the messenger that God would send before the Messiah to prepare the way for Him; then the Lord would come, the Angel of the Covenant, in other words, God, the Father, the Angel of the Covenant, the Holy Spirit, incarnate in the veil of flesh that would be born of the virgin Mary. As simple as that.
And now, we are in the time for the Second Coming of Christ. Reverend William Branham says: “Gabriel announced the First Coming of Christ, and He will announce the Second Coming.” Someday I will tell you whether he already announced It or if he will announce It later on.
We are in the most glorious time of all times, we are in the end of time, to see the fulfillment of all these prophecies, these promises, given by God through His prophets and through Jesus Christ our Savior; who says…
Notice, sometimes Christ was careful too; and He would tell the disciples to be careful about what they spoke – about what they would say. This was when they came down Mount Transfiguration. Christ says [Matthew 17:8]:
“And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.”
And now, chapter 24, verse 29 and on, says:
“Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”
The “Angels” are the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of Moses and Elijah, of Zechariah, chapter 4, verses 11 to 14; and Revelation, chapter 11, verses 3 to 12. And “the elect” mentioned here are 144,000 Hebrews, who will be called and gathered. Therefore, at any moment, God is going to call those elect of the twelve tribes of Israel, 12,000 of each tribe, through the ministries of Elijah and Moses.
“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.”
The words of Christ will not pass away. The time in which we have all been given to live is a very important time. It is the best time in the entire history of mankind. It is the time in which the Old Testament prophets desired to live; and even the apostles desired to live at this time. Therefore, it is important to identify the end time or end of time.
We are seeing the signs that Christ mentioned, and that the prophets mentioned, which would be fulfilled, manifested, at the end of time. Therefore, we have identified the end of time; and thus, we have to identify the promises that God has made to His Church, to fulfill them at the end of time.
We are at the end of time, for the fulfillment of all those promises of blessings that He has made for the believers in Him; and therefore, we are waiting for those blessings; for which we must receive a preparation, in order to receive the fulfillment of each one of those promises.
In Saint Matthew it tells us (chapter 24) that when we see these things begin to come to pass: we should lift up our heads, for our redemption is near. Our redemption, the redemption of the body, our physical adoption as sons and daughters of God in eternal, immortal, and glorified bodies. That is the redemption of the body, from Romans, chapter 8, verses 14 and on. Verse *20 tells us… Chapter 8, verse 21 and on, says:
“Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.”
The redemption of our body: the adoption, the transformation of our body, to have an eternal, immortal, and glorified body, just like the glorified body of Christ our Savior; and that will be at the end of time. That is why it is important to identify the end of time through the signs that Christ and the prophets, inspired by the Holy Spirit, said would be manifested at the end of time.
Christ Himself said that we should look at the signs of the times, so that we can know which time we are living in, what things God is promised to do at that time, what things we should expect Christ to fulfill at that time, what things we can expect, what blessings He has for us at the end of time; so that we see the signs that will be indicating the end of time.
Just like when we look at the sky and we see that there are clouds, we say: “It’s going to rain.” And whoever doesn’t pay attention will get wet; if he didn’t take an umbrella or raincoat, and he goes out as if nothing would happen, he gets wet, because he didn’t lift his eyes up to the sky to see the signs of the clouds full of water.
It’s important to see the signs of the Heavens, which indicate to us the things that will take place on Earth. We have to be IDENTIFYING THE END OF TIME by the signs that are prophesied to take place at the end of time.
So, we can say that we have identified the signs that are in the Bible that will be manifested at the end of time; and we are seeing them manifested. Therefore, we are at the end of time, waiting for the greatest blessing promised for the believers in Christ, members of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ: the resurrection of the dead in Christ in the Coming of the Son of Man, and our transformation, and the full manifestation of God in His Church in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision and the Vision of the Third Pull, which will be in a manifestation of God’s Love Divine in the midst of His Church; and then the rapture and catching away of the Church to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, where Christ and His Church will be endued as kings over the Earth.
“IDENTIFYING THE END OF TIME.”

Guatemala City, Guatemala
Good evening to all the ministers and churches present and in different nations that are connected to this activity today, Friday, July 8, 2016. Greetings to you all, and may God bless us all, may He open the Scriptures to us and our understanding so that we understand.
Warm greetings to all brethren and to Minister Jose Benjamin Perez in Puerto Rico – Cayey, Puerto Rico.
For this occasion, let’s read in Saint Luke, chapter 17, verses 22 and on, and it says:
“And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.
“IDENTIFYING THE END OF TIME.”
The end of time is the end for the Gentile kingdom in the stage of the feet of iron and clay; it is also the end of the Church ages or Church stages or the stage of the Dispensation of Grace; it is the end of time for the introduction of the Kingdom of the Messiah.
In Daniel, chapter 7, it tells us, verse 13 and on:
“I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.”
Here it shows us that a time is coming when the power will be taken away from the kingdom of the Gentiles in the stage of the feet of iron and clay, and the Kingdom will be given to the saints of the Most High. Christ Himself said: “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”
Christ receives the Kingdom, and His Bride-Church will be the Queen in that Kingdom: they will be kings with Christ, priests with Christ, and judges with Christ in His Kingdom, which will be for the Millennium and for all eternity. He is the heir to the Kingdom, and the believers in Him are joint-heirs with Him, heirs to the Kingdom of God.
The time for the Coming of the Lord is called the end of time, a time in which it is promised that the Son of Man will be revealed or manifested, the Son of Man will come.
The title “Son of Man” speaks to us of the title of a prophet; and as Son of Man: He is the heir to planet Earth along with everything it contains and everything it will have in the Millennial Kingdom and for all eternity.
When referring to the Son of Man, we find that Ezekiel and Zechariah, and also Jeremiah, and also Isaiah, were Sons of Man, that is, in whom God dwelled and manifested Himself.
When God is manifested in a prophet, that is a manifestation of the Son of Man, that is why God calls His prophets: Sons of Man. And now, this tells us about God clothed in a body of flesh revealing Himself to His people, speaking to them, and making promises to them and prophesying to them through a man, through a prophet.
Don’t forget that Son of Man refers to a manifestation of God in human flesh in a prophet; and when referring to the Son of God, that refers to Christ as the heir of the Heavens and the Earth; and when referring to the Son of David, that is Christ the heir to the Kingdom of David and Throne of David, manifested upon the Throne of David and restoring the Kingdom of David.
As the Son of David, He is the heir to the Kingdom and Throne of David; and as the Son of Abraham, He is the heir to the territory that God gave Abraham. Therefore, each title has an inheritance.
And now, for the end time, we have the promise of the Coming of the Son of Man; therefore, we must be prepared for the Coming of the Son of Man. Notice how it is shown here in Saint Matthew, chapter 24, verse 27, where it says:
“For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
That is, the Coming of the Son of Man is the Second Coming of Christ to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ at the end time; and It will be as the lightning comes out of the East and shines in the West. In other words, the First Coming of the Son of Man, the First Coming of the Lord, was in the East, He came from there; and then He has been running to and fro as the Holy Spirit, as the Son of God, throughout the different church stages, throughout the territories in which He would manifest Himself and from which He would expand to other nations.
As the Son of God, He is the Holy Spirit, Christ in Holy Spirit, God in Holy Spirit; and He has been with His Church always, and He said that would be until the end of the world. Saint Matthew, chapter 28, verse 20. And Saint Matthew, chapter 18, verse 20, where it says: “For where two or three are gathered together in My Name, I will be there.”
Since the Day of Pentecost, He has been fulfilling that promise: He has been present as the Son of God in the midst of His Church, He has been present as the Holy Spirit in the midst of His Church, He has been calling and gathering His children, from age to age, who would form the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and have been written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, before the foundation of the world.
And they must be redeemed, placed in Eternal Life, born again; because the birth that they obtained on Earth through their earthly parents is birth to a temporary life, for a period of time; because the body we have obtained as an inheritance from Adam and Eve is mortal and corruptible; but the second Adam, who is Christ, has been bringing forth the new birth with His Church; just like the corn of wheat that falls into the ground and dies, and a little wheat plant is born, through which —the life that was in the corn of wheat— reproduces itself into many wheat grains.
And the Life that was in Christ is the Holy Spirit, which had been in His Church since the Day of Pentecost, reproducing Himself in sons and daughters of God, thus bringing forth the new birth.
Christ is the Corn of Wheat and His Church is the product of the Corn of Wheat, in other words, the wheat Plant through which, from age to age, He has been reproducing Christ into sons and daughters of God. Those are the children of God through the Second Adam, with Eternal Life.
First they obtain the new birth, they enter into that spiritual realm, they are born again and they obtain Eternal Life; and then they will obtain physical Eternal Life upon receiving an eternal, immortal, and glorified body: in the resurrection of the dead in Christ in the Coming of Christ, and those who are alive will receive the transformation of their bodies once we see them resurrected.
And then we will be here on Earth for 30 to 40 days in the manifestation of the sons and daughters of God: that manifestation of God in all His fullness in and through His Church on this Earth; and then, well, we will go from here in chariots of fire —which are flying saucers—, the way Enoch left and the way the prophet Elijah left in a chariot of fire, and the way the Lord Jesus Christ left. Therefore, something great is being prepared, and that which is being prepared is in the Bible. It is a Divine promise for the end time.
In order to identify the end of time, Christ tells us that the end of time will be as the days of Lot were and as the days of Noah were. We must identify the time and see if the time in which we are living is parallel to the time in which Noah lived and to the time in which Lot lived. Notice, here in Saint Matthew, chapter 24, verses 36 and on, it says:
“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
It will be as the days of Noah were; therefore, we must identify the time of and for the Coming of the Son of Man: it must be parallel to the time of Noah.
“For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
It will be in a time like the time of Noah. And in the Scripture that we had at the beginning it also tells us that it will be like the time of Lot, when they were doing the same things Saint Matthew told us about.
Now notice what Saint *Luke, chapter 18, verse 8 says. It says:
“I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?”
When the Son of Man comes, shall He find faith on the Earth?
And in Saint Luke, chapter 21, it also tells us… verses 25 and on:
“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring…”
We have seen signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars; therefore, the sky is showing signs, just like in the times of Noah and the times of Lot.
“… with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring (because of the tidal waves and tsunamis and earthquakes);
Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth…”
Perplexed by the environmental problems that will come as a result of how human beings have been misusing Mother Earth; and therefore, they know that problems will arise within the Earth’s ecosystems, that Mother Earth will collapse.
It has also been said that the Earth will have birth pains; therefore, the Earth is going through a difficult stage: groaning, as Saint Paul says in Romans, chapter 8, verses 14 to 39: “Crying and waiting for the glorious manifestation of the children of God;” in other words, the glorification of the children of God, the manifestation: the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of the living, to be just like Jesus Christ, with eternal, young, and glorified bodies, just like the body Jesus Christ our Savior has.
“Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken (in other words, there will be a shaking in heaven).
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”
The redemption of the body: the transformation of us who are alive and the resurrection in eternal and glorified bodies of the believers who died in different ages or stages of the Church.
We have been seeing the signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars; so, we have been seeing that our redemption is near.
Verse 29 and on, of Saint Luke, chapter 21, goes on to say:
“And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.”
And Kingdom of God is the Millennial Kingdom, which the Prince Messiah is heir to.
“So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man (to stand before that glorious manifestation of the Coming of the Son of Man at the Last Day, at the end of time).”
Therefore, let’s be prepared, because God will be fulfilling all these promises at the end time. Because this time is just like the time of Noah and the time of Lot; it is parallel to those times of the past in which God came and spoke to Noah about the Divine judgment that would fall upon the human race, upon the antediluvian people.
And also in the time of Lot, God came with his Archangels, Gabriel…; He visited Abraham, they had lunch with Abraham (a tender calf, butter, milk, and flour tortillas; corn flour or wheat flour ones); and then they left, at sunset, to Sodom. Gabriel and Michael left; while God (who was, let’s say, in human form, in a body just like the Archangels Gabriel and Michael were) stayed with Abraham.
And He says: “Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do?” In other words, what He was going to do was destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. And then, when He tells Abraham what He is going to do, Abraham immediately thought about his nephew (his nephew, who used to take advantage of Abraham, but Abraham loved him); and God heard Abraham’s cry for his nephew, Abraham’s intercession to save his nephew.
He says to God: “If there are 50 righteous people there, will You destroy the city? Won’t the Judge of the Earth do justly, do right?
And God says to him: “I will not destroy it, for the sake of the 50.”
And Abraham, knowing that God is merciful…
Remember, that is why, let’s pray for our homes, for our families and our… not only for those who are at home, but also for our parents, our grandparents, our grandchildren, our children, all our family members. We want what’s best for all our family members.
And Abraham continues to lower the number: “If there are 40, will You destroy the city?”
God says to him: “If there are 40, I will not destroy it.”
―“Well, what if there are 30?”
―“I will not destroy it either.”
―“If there are 20?”
―“I will not destroy it either.”
― “If there are 10?”
―“I will not destroy it either.”
But he couldn’t continue to lower the number, because in the time of Noah there were 8 people, and God destroyed the antediluvian world; but He saved Noah, his wife, his three sons, and his three daughters-in-law. Therefore, in Sodom and Gomorrah, God had… He had already sent Michael and Gabriel.
Remember that each one of those Archangels has a powerful Army; and when they need to intervene: they intervene.
Do you remember Gabriel and His Army intervening in that kingdom there of Persia, of Greece as well, all those kingdoms that had to pass one by one? The Archangel Gabriel with His Army was taking action so that those changes could take place, and He was sent by God to do that; and when He needed help, He asked for help, and the Archangel Michael would come and would help Him. If you read the book of Daniel, you will find those details.
And now, notice what the Angels say to Lot; chapter 19 of Genesis… When Lot came out… because they wanted Lot to bring the two Angels out of the house and – so that they could know them. Lot didn’t do so, and he sent them his daughters. And then he went out to speak to the men who were going to marry his daughters; but they mocked him, they didn’t believe it would happen. And the Angels had already blinded the people who were surrounding Lot’s house and wanted to enter to bring out the men, Gabriel and Michael. Perhaps they didn’t know that they were the Angels Gabriel and Michael. But they put forth their hand out and pulled Lot back in, and they shut the door; and said to Lot:
“And the men said unto Lot (the men, meaning, Gabriel and Michael), Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
For we will destroy this place…”
In other words, when God sends the Archangels Gabriel and Michael for judgment, there is no opportunity to escape; unless people do what was done in the time of Jonah: when Jonah, after experiencing a change in transportation method… he was fleeing by boat, and then he traveled in a whale, to fulfill what God said to him. He was on a boat and then he went into a submarine; but he wasn’t too comfortable there.
And when the king heard that Jonah was declaring that God was going to destroy Nineveh in forty days: the king called his people, they began fasting, they covered themselves in ashes, and they cried out to God for mercy. And God heard the prayer of the king and the people, and He didn’t destroy them at that time. But instead of being glad, Jonah got upset with God.
God says to him: “They don’t know the difference between their right hand and their left hand,” and He had mercy on them. But later on, He destroyed Nineveh. Nineveh was the place where God sent Jonah.
And now, what we want is for God to have mercy on the peoples; and we want God to have mercy on the peoples of Latin America; because the Divine Program of the seventh age and of the Age of the Cornerstone pertains to the continent of the Americas.
We don’t rejoice in judgment. We rejoice in God’s mercy. We are saddened when judgment falls upon our family, when judgment falls upon our community, when judgment falls upon our country, when judgment falls upon the nations. But when God’s mercy and blessing comes along, we rejoice.
Now, here Gabriel and Michael, these Angels, say:
“…For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it.”
In other words, these Archangels are sent either for blessing or for judgment.
Gabriel was sent for the blessing of the virgin Mary, to announce to her that she would have a son, who would be the heir of the Kingdom of David and Throne of David, and He would be called the Son of God.
And He had also been sent to announce to the priest Zacharias, the husband of Elisabeth, the virgin Mary’s cousin, that he (Zacharias the priest) and his wife Elisabeth, would have a son (and they were already elderly); and that he would be a prophet, that he would come in the spirit of Elijah, the spirit and power of Elijah, to prepare the way for the Lord. It had fallen upon Zacharias to offer the incense at that time.
And now, we find that John the Baptist, in Zechariah [Malachi], chapter 3, is the messenger that God would send before the Messiah to prepare the way for Him; then the Lord would come, the Angel of the Covenant, in other words, God, the Father, the Angel of the Covenant, the Holy Spirit, incarnate in the veil of flesh that would be born of the virgin Mary. As simple as that.
And now, we are in the time for the Second Coming of Christ. Reverend William Branham says: “Gabriel announced the First Coming of Christ, and He will announce the Second Coming.” Someday I will tell you whether he already announced It or if he will announce It later on.
We are in the most glorious time of all times, we are in the end of time, to see the fulfillment of all these prophecies, these promises, given by God through His prophets and through Jesus Christ our Savior; who says…
Notice, sometimes Christ was careful too; and He would tell the disciples to be careful about what they spoke – about what they would say. This was when they came down Mount Transfiguration. Christ says [Matthew 17:8]:
“And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.”
And now, chapter 24, verse 29 and on, says:
“Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”
The “Angels” are the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of Moses and Elijah, of Zechariah, chapter 4, verses 11 to 14; and Revelation, chapter 11, verses 3 to 12. And “the elect” mentioned here are 144,000 Hebrews, who will be called and gathered. Therefore, at any moment, God is going to call those elect of the twelve tribes of Israel, 12,000 of each tribe, through the ministries of Elijah and Moses.
“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.”
The words of Christ will not pass away. The time in which we have all been given to live is a very important time. It is the best time in the entire history of mankind. It is the time in which the Old Testament prophets desired to live; and even the apostles desired to live at this time. Therefore, it is important to identify the end time or end of time.
We are seeing the signs that Christ mentioned, and that the prophets mentioned, which would be fulfilled, manifested, at the end of time. Therefore, we have identified the end of time; and thus, we have to identify the promises that God has made to His Church, to fulfill them at the end of time.
We are at the end of time, for the fulfillment of all those promises of blessings that He has made for the believers in Him; and therefore, we are waiting for those blessings; for which we must receive a preparation, in order to receive the fulfillment of each one of those promises.
In Saint Matthew it tells us (chapter 24) that when we see these things begin to come to pass: we should lift up our heads, for our redemption is near. Our redemption, the redemption of the body, our physical adoption as sons and daughters of God in eternal, immortal, and glorified bodies. That is the redemption of the body, from Romans, chapter 8, verses 14 and on. Verse *20 tells us… Chapter 8, verse 21 and on, says:
“Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.”
The redemption of our body: the adoption, the transformation of our body, to have an eternal, immortal, and glorified body, just like the glorified body of Christ our Savior; and that will be at the end of time. That is why it is important to identify the end of time through the signs that Christ and the prophets, inspired by the Holy Spirit, said would be manifested at the end of time.
Christ Himself said that we should look at the signs of the times, so that we can know which time we are living in, what things God is promised to do at that time, what things we should expect Christ to fulfill at that time, what things we can expect, what blessings He has for us at the end of time; so that we see the signs that will be indicating the end of time.
Just like when we look at the sky and we see that there are clouds, we say: “It’s going to rain.” And whoever doesn’t pay attention will get wet; if he didn’t take an umbrella or raincoat, and he goes out as if nothing would happen, he gets wet, because he didn’t lift his eyes up to the sky to see the signs of the clouds full of water.
It’s important to see the signs of the Heavens, which indicate to us the things that will take place on Earth. We have to be IDENTIFYING THE END OF TIME by the signs that are prophesied to take place at the end of time.
So, we can say that we have identified the signs that are in the Bible that will be manifested at the end of time; and we are seeing them manifested. Therefore, we are at the end of time, waiting for the greatest blessing promised for the believers in Christ, members of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ: the resurrection of the dead in Christ in the Coming of the Son of Man, and our transformation, and the full manifestation of God in His Church in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision and the Vision of the Third Pull, which will be in a manifestation of God’s Love Divine in the midst of His Church; and then the rapture and catching away of the Church to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, where Christ and His Church will be endued as kings over the Earth.

IDENTIFYING THE END OF TIME
—Introduction—
Dr. William Soto Santiago
Friday, July 8, 2016
Guatemala City, Guatemala
Good evening to all the ministers and churches present and in different nations that are connected to this activity today, Friday, July 8, 2016. Greetings to you all, and may God bless us all, may He open the Scriptures to us and our understanding so that we understand.
Warm greetings to all brethren and to Minister Jose Benjamin Perez in Puerto Rico – Cayey, Puerto Rico.
For this occasion, let’s read in Saint Luke, chapter 17, verses 22 and on, and it says:
“And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.”
May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.
“IDENTIFYING THE END OF TIME.”
The end of time is the end for the Gentile kingdom in the stage of the feet of iron and clay; it is also the end of the Church ages or Church stages or the stage of the Dispensation of Grace; it is the end of time for the introduction of the Kingdom of the Messiah.
In Daniel, chapter 7, it tells us, verse 13 and on:
“I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.”
Here it shows us that a time is coming when the power will be taken away from the kingdom of the Gentiles in the stage of the feet of iron and clay, and the Kingdom will be given to the saints of the Most High. Christ Himself said: “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”
Christ receives the Kingdom, and His Bride-Church will be the Queen in that Kingdom: they will be kings with Christ, priests with Christ, and judges with Christ in His Kingdom, which will be for the Millennium and for all eternity. He is the heir to the Kingdom, and the believers in Him are joint-heirs with Him, heirs to the Kingdom of God.
The time for the Coming of the Lord is called the end of time, a time in which it is promised that the Son of Man will be revealed or manifested, the Son of Man will come.
The title “Son of Man” speaks to us of the title of a prophet; and as Son of Man: He is the heir to planet Earth along with everything it contains and everything it will have in the Millennial Kingdom and for all eternity.
When referring to the Son of Man, we find that Ezekiel and Zechariah, and also Jeremiah, and also Isaiah, were Sons of Man, that is, in whom God dwelled and manifested Himself.
When God is manifested in a prophet, that is a manifestation of the Son of Man, that is why God calls His prophets: Sons of Man. And now, this tells us about God clothed in a body of flesh revealing Himself to His people, speaking to them, and making promises to them and prophesying to them through a man, through a prophet.
Don’t forget that Son of Man refers to a manifestation of God in human flesh in a prophet; and when referring to the Son of God, that refers to Christ as the heir of the Heavens and the Earth; and when referring to the Son of David, that is Christ the heir to the Kingdom of David and Throne of David, manifested upon the Throne of David and restoring the Kingdom of David.
As the Son of David, He is the heir to the Kingdom and Throne of David; and as the Son of Abraham, He is the heir to the territory that God gave Abraham. Therefore, each title has an inheritance.
And now, for the end time, we have the promise of the Coming of the Son of Man; therefore, we must be prepared for the Coming of the Son of Man. Notice how it is shown here in Saint Matthew, chapter 24, verse 27, where it says:
“For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
That is, the Coming of the Son of Man is the Second Coming of Christ to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ at the end time; and It will be as the lightning comes out of the East and shines in the West. In other words, the First Coming of the Son of Man, the First Coming of the Lord, was in the East, He came from there; and then He has been running to and fro as the Holy Spirit, as the Son of God, throughout the different church stages, throughout the territories in which He would manifest Himself and from which He would expand to other nations.
As the Son of God, He is the Holy Spirit, Christ in Holy Spirit, God in Holy Spirit; and He has been with His Church always, and He said that would be until the end of the world. Saint Matthew, chapter 28, verse 20. And Saint Matthew, chapter 18, verse 20, where it says: “For where two or three are gathered together in My Name, I will be there.”
Since the Day of Pentecost, He has been fulfilling that promise: He has been present as the Son of God in the midst of His Church, He has been present as the Holy Spirit in the midst of His Church, He has been calling and gathering His children, from age to age, who would form the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and have been written in Heaven, in the Lamb’s Book of Life, before the foundation of the world.
And they must be redeemed, placed in Eternal Life, born again; because the birth that they obtained on Earth through their earthly parents is birth to a temporary life, for a period of time; because the body we have obtained as an inheritance from Adam and Eve is mortal and corruptible; but the second Adam, who is Christ, has been bringing forth the new birth with His Church; just like the corn of wheat that falls into the ground and dies, and a little wheat plant is born, through which —the life that was in the corn of wheat— reproduces itself into many wheat grains.
And the Life that was in Christ is the Holy Spirit, which had been in His Church since the Day of Pentecost, reproducing Himself in sons and daughters of God, thus bringing forth the new birth.
Christ is the Corn of Wheat and His Church is the product of the Corn of Wheat, in other words, the wheat Plant through which, from age to age, He has been reproducing Christ into sons and daughters of God. Those are the children of God through the Second Adam, with Eternal Life.
First they obtain the new birth, they enter into that spiritual realm, they are born again and they obtain Eternal Life; and then they will obtain physical Eternal Life upon receiving an eternal, immortal, and glorified body: in the resurrection of the dead in Christ in the Coming of Christ, and those who are alive will receive the transformation of their bodies once we see them resurrected.
And then we will be here on Earth for 30 to 40 days in the manifestation of the sons and daughters of God: that manifestation of God in all His fullness in and through His Church on this Earth; and then, well, we will go from here in chariots of fire —which are flying saucers—, the way Enoch left and the way the prophet Elijah left in a chariot of fire, and the way the Lord Jesus Christ left. Therefore, something great is being prepared, and that which is being prepared is in the Bible. It is a Divine promise for the end time.
In order to identify the end of time, Christ tells us that the end of time will be as the days of Lot were and as the days of Noah were. We must identify the time and see if the time in which we are living is parallel to the time in which Noah lived and to the time in which Lot lived. Notice, here in Saint Matthew, chapter 24, verses 36 and on, it says:
“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
It will be as the days of Noah were; therefore, we must identify the time of and for the Coming of the Son of Man: it must be parallel to the time of Noah.
“For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
It will be in a time like the time of Noah. And in the Scripture that we had at the beginning it also tells us that it will be like the time of Lot, when they were doing the same things Saint Matthew told us about.
Now notice what Saint *Luke, chapter 18, verse 8 says. It says:
“I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?”
When the Son of Man comes, shall He find faith on the Earth?
And in Saint Luke, chapter 21, it also tells us… verses 25 and on:
“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring…”
We have seen signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars; therefore, the sky is showing signs, just like in the times of Noah and the times of Lot.
“… with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring (because of the tidal waves and tsunamis and earthquakes);
Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth…”
Perplexed by the environmental problems that will come as a result of how human beings have been misusing Mother Earth; and therefore, they know that problems will arise within the Earth’s ecosystems, that Mother Earth will collapse.
It has also been said that the Earth will have birth pains; therefore, the Earth is going through a difficult stage: groaning, as Saint Paul says in Romans, chapter 8, verses 14 to 39: “Crying and waiting for the glorious manifestation of the children of God;” in other words, the glorification of the children of God, the manifestation: the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of the living, to be just like Jesus Christ, with eternal, young, and glorified bodies, just like the body Jesus Christ our Savior has.
“Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken (in other words, there will be a shaking in heaven).
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”
The redemption of the body: the transformation of us who are alive and the resurrection in eternal and glorified bodies of the believers who died in different ages or stages of the Church.
We have been seeing the signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars; so, we have been seeing that our redemption is near.
Verse 29 and on, of Saint Luke, chapter 21, goes on to say:
“And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.”
And Kingdom of God is the Millennial Kingdom, which the Prince Messiah is heir to.
“So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man (to stand before that glorious manifestation of the Coming of the Son of Man at the Last Day, at the end of time).”
Therefore, let’s be prepared, because God will be fulfilling all these promises at the end time. Because this time is just like the time of Noah and the time of Lot; it is parallel to those times of the past in which God came and spoke to Noah about the Divine judgment that would fall upon the human race, upon the antediluvian people.
And also in the time of Lot, God came with his Archangels, Gabriel…; He visited Abraham, they had lunch with Abraham (a tender calf, butter, milk, and flour tortillas; corn flour or wheat flour ones); and then they left, at sunset, to Sodom. Gabriel and Michael left; while God (who was, let’s say, in human form, in a body just like the Archangels Gabriel and Michael were) stayed with Abraham.
And He says: “Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do?” In other words, what He was going to do was destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. And then, when He tells Abraham what He is going to do, Abraham immediately thought about his nephew (his nephew, who used to take advantage of Abraham, but Abraham loved him); and God heard Abraham’s cry for his nephew, Abraham’s intercession to save his nephew.
He says to God: “If there are 50 righteous people there, will You destroy the city? Won’t the Judge of the Earth do justly, do right?
And God says to him: “I will not destroy it, for the sake of the 50.”
And Abraham, knowing that God is merciful…
Remember, that is why, let’s pray for our homes, for our families and our… not only for those who are at home, but also for our parents, our grandparents, our grandchildren, our children, all our family members. We want what’s best for all our family members.
And Abraham continues to lower the number: “If there are 40, will You destroy the city?”
God says to him: “If there are 40, I will not destroy it.”
―“Well, what if there are 30?”
―“I will not destroy it either.”
―“If there are 20?”
―“I will not destroy it either.”
― “If there are 10?”
―“I will not destroy it either.”
But he couldn’t continue to lower the number, because in the time of Noah there were 8 people, and God destroyed the antediluvian world; but He saved Noah, his wife, his three sons, and his three daughters-in-law. Therefore, in Sodom and Gomorrah, God had… He had already sent Michael and Gabriel.
Remember that each one of those Archangels has a powerful Army; and when they need to intervene: they intervene.
Do you remember Gabriel and His Army intervening in that kingdom there of Persia, of Greece as well, all those kingdoms that had to pass one by one? The Archangel Gabriel with His Army was taking action so that those changes could take place, and He was sent by God to do that; and when He needed help, He asked for help, and the Archangel Michael would come and would help Him. If you read the book of Daniel, you will find those details.
And now, notice what the Angels say to Lot; chapter 19 of Genesis… When Lot came out… because they wanted Lot to bring the two Angels out of the house and – so that they could know them. Lot didn’t do so, and he sent them his daughters. And then he went out to speak to the men who were going to marry his daughters; but they mocked him, they didn’t believe it would happen. And the Angels had already blinded the people who were surrounding Lot’s house and wanted to enter to bring out the men, Gabriel and Michael. Perhaps they didn’t know that they were the Angels Gabriel and Michael. But they put forth their hand out and pulled Lot back in, and they shut the door; and said to Lot:
“And the men said unto Lot (the men, meaning, Gabriel and Michael), Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
For we will destroy this place…”
In other words, when God sends the Archangels Gabriel and Michael for judgment, there is no opportunity to escape; unless people do what was done in the time of Jonah: when Jonah, after experiencing a change in transportation method… he was fleeing by boat, and then he traveled in a whale, to fulfill what God said to him. He was on a boat and then he went into a submarine; but he wasn’t too comfortable there.
And when the king heard that Jonah was declaring that God was going to destroy Nineveh in forty days: the king called his people, they began fasting, they covered themselves in ashes, and they cried out to God for mercy. And God heard the prayer of the king and the people, and He didn’t destroy them at that time. But instead of being glad, Jonah got upset with God.
God says to him: “They don’t know the difference between their right hand and their left hand,” and He had mercy on them. But later on, He destroyed Nineveh. Nineveh was the place where God sent Jonah.
And now, what we want is for God to have mercy on the peoples; and we want God to have mercy on the peoples of Latin America; because the Divine Program of the seventh age and of the Age of the Cornerstone pertains to the continent of the Americas.
We don’t rejoice in judgment. We rejoice in God’s mercy. We are saddened when judgment falls upon our family, when judgment falls upon our community, when judgment falls upon our country, when judgment falls upon the nations. But when God’s mercy and blessing comes along, we rejoice.
Now, here Gabriel and Michael, these Angels, say:
“…For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it.”
In other words, these Archangels are sent either for blessing or for judgment.
Gabriel was sent for the blessing of the virgin Mary, to announce to her that she would have a son, who would be the heir of the Kingdom of David and Throne of David, and He would be called the Son of God.
And He had also been sent to announce to the priest Zacharias, the husband of Elisabeth, the virgin Mary’s cousin, that he (Zacharias the priest) and his wife Elisabeth, would have a son (and they were already elderly); and that he would be a prophet, that he would come in the spirit of Elijah, the spirit and power of Elijah, to prepare the way for the Lord. It had fallen upon Zacharias to offer the incense at that time.
And now, we find that John the Baptist, in Zechariah [Malachi], chapter 3, is the messenger that God would send before the Messiah to prepare the way for Him; then the Lord would come, the Angel of the Covenant, in other words, God, the Father, the Angel of the Covenant, the Holy Spirit, incarnate in the veil of flesh that would be born of the virgin Mary. As simple as that.
And now, we are in the time for the Second Coming of Christ. Reverend William Branham says: “Gabriel announced the First Coming of Christ, and He will announce the Second Coming.” Someday I will tell you whether he already announced It or if he will announce It later on.
We are in the most glorious time of all times, we are in the end of time, to see the fulfillment of all these prophecies, these promises, given by God through His prophets and through Jesus Christ our Savior; who says…
Notice, sometimes Christ was careful too; and He would tell the disciples to be careful about what they spoke – about what they would say. This was when they came down Mount Transfiguration. Christ says [Matthew 17:8]:
“And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.”
And now, chapter 24, verse 29 and on, says:
“Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”
The “Angels” are the ministries of the Two Olive Trees, the ministries of Moses and Elijah, of Zechariah, chapter 4, verses 11 to 14; and Revelation, chapter 11, verses 3 to 12. And “the elect” mentioned here are 144,000 Hebrews, who will be called and gathered. Therefore, at any moment, God is going to call those elect of the twelve tribes of Israel, 12,000 of each tribe, through the ministries of Elijah and Moses.
“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.”
The words of Christ will not pass away. The time in which we have all been given to live is a very important time. It is the best time in the entire history of mankind. It is the time in which the Old Testament prophets desired to live; and even the apostles desired to live at this time. Therefore, it is important to identify the end time or end of time.
We are seeing the signs that Christ mentioned, and that the prophets mentioned, which would be fulfilled, manifested, at the end of time. Therefore, we have identified the end of time; and thus, we have to identify the promises that God has made to His Church, to fulfill them at the end of time.
We are at the end of time, for the fulfillment of all those promises of blessings that He has made for the believers in Him; and therefore, we are waiting for those blessings; for which we must receive a preparation, in order to receive the fulfillment of each one of those promises.
In Saint Matthew it tells us (chapter 24) that when we see these things begin to come to pass: we should lift up our heads, for our redemption is near. Our redemption, the redemption of the body, our physical adoption as sons and daughters of God in eternal, immortal, and glorified bodies. That is the redemption of the body, from Romans, chapter 8, verses 14 and on. Verse *20 tells us… Chapter 8, verse 21 and on, says:
“Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.”
The redemption of our body: the adoption, the transformation of our body, to have an eternal, immortal, and glorified body, just like the glorified body of Christ our Savior; and that will be at the end of time. That is why it is important to identify the end of time through the signs that Christ and the prophets, inspired by the Holy Spirit, said would be manifested at the end of time.
Christ Himself said that we should look at the signs of the times, so that we can know which time we are living in, what things God is promised to do at that time, what things we should expect Christ to fulfill at that time, what things we can expect, what blessings He has for us at the end of time; so that we see the signs that will be indicating the end of time.
Just like when we look at the sky and we see that there are clouds, we say: “It’s going to rain.” And whoever doesn’t pay attention will get wet; if he didn’t take an umbrella or raincoat, and he goes out as if nothing would happen, he gets wet, because he didn’t lift his eyes up to the sky to see the signs of the clouds full of water.
It’s important to see the signs of the Heavens, which indicate to us the things that will take place on Earth. We have to be IDENTIFYING THE END OF TIME by the signs that are prophesied to take place at the end of time.
So, we can say that we have identified the signs that are in the Bible that will be manifested at the end of time; and we are seeing them manifested. Therefore, we are at the end of time, waiting for the greatest blessing promised for the believers in Christ, members of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ: the resurrection of the dead in Christ in the Coming of the Son of Man, and our transformation, and the full manifestation of God in His Church in the fulfillment of the Tent Vision and the Vision of the Third Pull, which will be in a manifestation of God’s Love Divine in the midst of His Church; and then the rapture and catching away of the Church to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, where Christ and His Church will be endued as kings over the Earth.
